The structure of a website can be thought of as a tree structure that holds your content pages. The names of these content pages are used to form the URLs, whereas the title is shown when the page content is viewed.

The following shows an example from the We.Retail site, where a hiking shorts page (desert-sky-shorts) is accessed:

Title

If you supply only a page Title when creating a new page, AEM will derive the page Name from this string and validate the name according to the conventions imposed by AEM and JCR. A Title field containing invalid characters will be accepted, but the name derived will have the invalid characters subsituted. For example:

Title

Derived Name

Schön

schoen.html

SC%&*ç+

sc---c-.html

Name

When you supply a page Name when creating a new page, AEM will validate the name according to the conventions imposed by AEM and JCR. You cannot submit invalid characters in the Name field. When AEM detects invalid characters the field will be highlighted with an explanatory message available to indicate the characters that need removing/replacing.

הערה:

You should avoid using a two-letter code as defined by ISO-639-1 as a page name, unless it is a language root.

Templates

In AEM, a template specifies a specialized type of page. A template will be used as the basis for any new page being created.

The template defines the structure of a page including a thumbnail image and other properties. For example, you may have separate templates for product pages, sitemaps, and contact information. Templates are comprised of components.

AEM comes with several templates provided out-of-the-box. The templates available depend on the individual website. The key fields are:

Title
The title displayed on the resulting web-page.

Name
Used when naming the page.

Template
A list of templates available for use when generating the new page.

You cannot submit invalid characters in the Name field. When AEM detects invalid characters the field will be highlighted and an explanatory message shown to indicate the characters that need removing/replacing.

Use Create to complete the process and create your new page. The confirmation dialog will ask whether you want to Open the page immediately or return to the console (Done):

הערה:

If you create a page using a name that already exists at that location, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name by appending a number. For example if winter already exists a new page will become winter0.

If you are in selection mode this is exited automatically as soon as the page is copied.

Navigate to the location for the new copy of the page.

Use the Paste page icon:

A copy of the original page and any subpages will be created at this location.

הערה:

If you copy the page to a location where a page with the same name as the original already exists, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name by appending a number. For example if winter already exists winter will become winter1.

Specify the name you want the page to have after it is moved, then click/tap Next to proceed.

Cancel to abort the process.

The page name can remain the same if you are only moving the page.

הערה:

If you move a page to a location where a page with the same name already exists, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name by appending a number. For example if winter already exists winter will become winter1.

If you move a page to a location where a page with the same name already exists, the system will automatically generate a variation of the name by appending a number. For example if winter already exists winter will become winter1.

If the page is linked to or referenced, then these references will be listed in the Adjust/Republish step. You can indicate which should be adjusted and republished as appropriate.

Selecting Move will complete the process and move/rename your page as appropriate.

הערה:

If the page was already published, moving the page will automatically unpublish it. By default, it will be republished when the move is complete, but this can changed by unchecking the Republish field in the Adjust/Republish step.

הערה:

If the page is not referenced in any way, then the Adjust/Republish step will be skipped.

Deleting a Page

Navigate until you can see the page you want to delete.

Use selection mode to select the required page, then use Delete from the toolbar:

הערה:

As a security precaution, the Delete page icon is not available as a quick action.

A dialog will ask for confirmation, use:

Cancel to abort the action

Delete to confirm the action:

If the page has no references, the page will be deleted.

If the page has references, a message box will inform you that One or more pages are referenced. You can select Force Delete or Cancel.

הערה:

If a page is already published, it will automatically be unpublished before deletion.

Locking a Page

You can lock/unlock a page from either a console or when editing an individual page. Information about whether a page is locked is also shown in both locations.
